Av. Huasamayo s/n, Tilcara, Jujuy
Caravana de Llamas is a company specializing in rural tourism and active tourism located in Tilcara, Jujuy, offering unique trekking experiences with llamas through the Quebrada de Humahuaca. This tourism operator rescues the ancient tradition of domestic use of these Andean camelids, which for thousands of years accompanied indigenous peoples as companion animals and cargo carriers on hiking circuits through the region's indigenous trails.
The company proposes different activities to experience coexistence with these animals: trekking caravans, where visitors trek through mountain landscapes accompanied by llamas that transport necessary equipment, allowing hikers to enjoy the experience without carrying heavy loads. The Pata Pampa route and the Valle Maimará route are two guided excursion options that traverse the ancient paths that once connected communities and markets in the Andes.
The experience at Caravana de Llamas also includes visits to its interpretation centers, educational spaces where visitors learn about the origin, behavior and characteristics of these animals in the cultural and environmental context of the Quebrada de Humahuaca. The main center is located in Tilcara, complemented by another in the town of Huacalera. These spaces function as extensions of the experience that allow understanding the cultural and ecological importance of llamas in northern Argentina.
The active tourism activities in Tilcara offered by Caravana de Llamas are distinguished by combining adventure with environmental education, allowing visitors to connect with the cultural heritage of northwestern Argentina. Local guide baqueanos share knowledge about these Andean camelids, local geography and the historical paths they traverse during trekking, transforming each excursion into an immersion in the history and nature of Jujuy.
